1 Todays youth will be tomorrows leader. But the scenario of todays youth is a dismal one as they are plagued with so many social ills. 2 Firstly, what are the social ills? An alarming large number of youths are involved in smoking, taking drugs and alcoholism. Many youths are destroying their future because they are under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Drink-driving, reckless driving and illegal racing have become popular pastimes for youths. AIDS and HIV are diseases that have surfaced with drug abuse. Young teenagers like to roam the city streets, especially at night. In school, they play truant and skip classes and are disruptive. They prefer to loiter around shopping complexes instead of studying. Teenagers under peer pressure also vandalise public property in order to gain acceptance of their peers. They form gangs and take part in violent fights and criminal activities. These are the various social ills that are plaguing the youths. 3 What are the causes of this dreary situation? One of the factors responsible for the rise of ills among young children is parents. Parents play a pivotal role in the raising of their children and moulding their characters. However, due to the pursuit of material wealth and career advancement, parents have made their children feel neglected and unloved. Youths then turn to their friends and start to misbehave in order to get their parents attention. 4 The deteriorating discipline in schools is a contributing factor. Schools are given limited power to wield the cane and mete out punishment to errant students. Schools have also becoming boring to many students. They find playing truant more interesting. Besides, the school curriculum does not put equal emphasis on instilling moral and religious principles as well as nurturing the intellect. 5 Many children run away from poverty, broken families and abusive parents. An alarming number of youths are physically and mentally abused by their parents. Marital disharmony due to divorce, unemployment and financial problems contributes to family breaks-up and the children end up feeling lost and unloved. They leave the house and mix with the bad hats. 6 Something must be done fast or our youths will ruin their future and become a destructive factor that will undermine nation building. Parents play a crucial role in bringing up their children. There should be communication between children and parents. Parents should keep track of their childrens friends and their movements. Daily discussions about schools, checking their exercise books and going on holiday together will go a long way in creating a strong emotional bond between children and their parents. 7 Schools should play more caring role too. Teachers and counsellors play an important role in teaching discipline and imparting knowledge. They should collaborate with their students parents and let the parents know if their children misbehave, play truant or have problems. Cooperation between schools and parents is important to overcome many disciplinary problems. They should instil religious and moral values in youths so that they can think rationally and evaluate their actions correctly. 8 The government also play an effective role in curbing social ills. The setting up Rakan Muda camps, summer camps and motivational camps can teach youths to be independent and constructive and encourage team spirit. These will contribute to multiracial integration and unity. A disciplined society can contribute to the development of the nature. 9 To put it in a nutshell, the youths of today have to stand up, hold hands with other youths and rise to the challenge of becoming more productive and useful citizens.
